Intercom Audio Distribution System Programming Manager Crestron C2N-IADS30X24 Programming Manager is the view where programmers "program" a Crestron control system by assigning signals to symbols. The symbol can be viewed by double clicking on the icon or dragging it into Detail View. A description for each signal in the symbol is described in the SIMPL Windows help file (F1). Example Program An example program for the IADS is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.
Crestron C2N-IADS30X24 Intercom Audio Distribution System Uploading and Upgrading Crestron recommends using the latest programming software and that each device contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features. However, before attempting to upload or upgrade, it is necessary to establish communication. Establishing Communication Use Crestron Toolbox for communicating with the IADS; refer to the Crestron Toolbox help file for details.
Intercom Audio Distribution System Crestron C2N-IADS30X24 Problem Solving Troubleshooting The following table provides corrective action for possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron customer service representative. C2N-IADS30X24 Troubleshooting POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) Power LED does IADS is not not Illuminate receiving power. TROUBLE NET LED does not illuminate Hum on audio. CORRECTIVE ACTION Verify that cable plugged into networkport is secure.
Crestron C2N-IADS30X24 Intercom Audio Distribution System NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor. Strip and Tin Wire When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection.
